Fugitive Dimitri Storm may have been spotted in San Mateo County

SAN MATEO COUNTY — Dimitri Storm, the 42-year-old man suspected of pointing a gun at a Soquel Hills resident during a burglary, might have been spotted in San Mateo County on Monday.

San Mateo County sheriff's deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said a female hitchhiker got a ride with a man Monday night to Highway 35 near the Clouds Rest vista point.

A Mercedes was found abandoned near Highway 35 that was reported stolen from Monterey County, where Storm was last spotted by authorities. The woman was later shown a picture of Storm and said it was him.

Storm is suspected of stealing several cars and remains wanted in Sonoma and Santa Cruz counties on suspicion of felony assault on a peace officer, evading authorities and possession of a stolen vehicle.

He is 5 feet 10 inches and 180 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes.

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information to call dispatch at 831-471-1121.
